The humorous episodes of
Supernatural DVD Box Set are fun,
Battlestar Galactica Box Set 1-4 but after so many in a row it is a relief that "Abandon All Hope" gets back to the main storyline of the season.
Supernatural Box Set 1-4 However, a title like that should be some indication of where things are going to be left standing when this episode ends.
Battlestar Galactica Dean and Sam finally get the Colt back, and they set out on a mission to find and kill Lucifer.
Supernatural DVD They have little hope for success,
Battlestar Galactica but know they have to at least try.
Supernatural DVD Box Set has made some really excellent casting decisions this season and we can add Mark Sheppard,
Supernatural 1-4 DVD who has appeared in tons of different TV shows from The X-Files to
Battlestar Galactica, to the list. He is on hand to play the demon Crowley,
Battlestar Galactica 1-4 DVD who has the Colt that Dean and Sam believe can kill Lucifer.
Supernatural Box Set 1-4Crowley only has a few moments in the episode but I am already hoping he will return at some point.
Battlestar Galactica Box Set 1-4You have to love him when he refers to the Winchesters as the Hardy Boys and slows down when explaining his reasoning for helping them since,
Supernatural DVDas he says, they are "at best, functional morons."
Battlestar Galactica 1-4 DVD His idea that Lucifer will turn his hatred toward demons after dispatching humanity is intriguing.
Battlestar Galactica Box Set 1-4 He wants to help the Winchesters in order to preserve the way of life he is used to. If there can be angels that have rejected God's plan,
Supernatural 1-4 DVD why can't there be demons who reject Lucifer?
With the troops gathered together,
Supernatural 1-4 DVDthe Winchesters, Ellen and Jo Harvelle,
Ghost Whisperer DVD Box set Castiel and Bobby, there is a real sense that these are soldiers going into battle. I loved the little sequence of scenes showing the group getting ready for the next day,
Supernatural Box Set 1-4it gives the audience a chance to share in the feeling that these are precious moments that are going to disappear,
Battlestar Galactica Box Set 1-4 and soon. Castiel and Ellen's drinking game was the best,
Battlestar Galactica especially the look on Jo's face after she watches Castiel down five shots in about five seconds and declare, "I think I am beginning to feel something."
Battlestar Galactica 1-4 DVD Misha Collins is perfect at portraying how Castiel tests the waters of what it means to be human,
Ghost Whisperer DVD Box set even while he always holds himself apart enough that we do not forget he is an angel.
I have always been a fan of Jo and Dean's chemistry and Alona Tal and Jensen Ackles made sure we feel it one last time in this episode.
Supernatural DVD Dean's decision to finally make a move, using the "dangerous mission tomorrow...let's eat,
Supernatural Box Set 1-4drink, and make merry" line is cute.
Battlestar Galactica But the true affection comes out later when Jo is wounded. Dean's kiss goodbye, forehead first, then on the lips,
Ghost Whisperer DVD Box set is heartbreaking. I wanted a different ending for these two, but what we are given is powerful. The real emotional knockout in the episode however is Samantha Ferris as Ellen. It is no surprise when she refuses to leave her little girl,
Battlestar Galactica 1-4 DVD but it breaks my heart to see it happen. There have to be some casualties in this war, but
Supernatural 1-4 DVD doesn't have any throwaway characters,
Battlestar Galactica Box Set 1-4so it is sad to see anyone go.
Mark Pellegrino also turns in an amazing performance as Lucifer. The way he speaks to each character is smooth and persuasive like a great salesman; his way of thinking is just so reasonable and he can't understand why everyone is not on board with his vision.
Battlestar Galactica At the same time,
Battlestar Galactica Box Set 1-4 Pellegrino gives us glimpses of the damaged and resentful interior. Lucifer's vessel, Nick, may be wearing a bit thin,
Supernatural 1-4 DVDbut he still exudes calm confidence with Sam, naming the time and place that Sam will give in to him. Castiel and Lucifer's confrontation is another high point of the episode;
Ghost Whisperer DVD Box set the actors convey the power their characters have without resorting to flashiness. Pellegrino brings a condescending edge to the scene with the way he treats Castiel as a curiosity;
Supernatural Box Set 1-4 the haughtiness even comes out in little moments,
Battlestar Galactica 1-4 DVD as when Lucifer is proud of himself for being able to come up with Castiel's name.
The episode moves at a brisk and exciting pace,
Supernatural DVD especially the beginning with Crowley and also the scenes when the group arrives in Carthage.
Supernatural Box Set 1-4 There is so much going on there with Castiel being the only one to see the reapers and the appearance of Meg, who is again played with vitality by Rachel Miner.
Supernatural 1-4 DVD But things slow down near the end as the show begins to set pieces in place for the second half of the season.
Battlestar Galactica 1-4 DVD The final scene ends on a somber note;
Battlestar Galactica Box Set 1-4things have not gone well for our heroes and we will have to wait and see how they pick up the pieces when the show returns in January.
